been using fedora since 2018, never tried any other distro but im not afraid of using the command line to do stuff like disk partitioning/installing a DE (i run fedora server btw). however i think i've got a case of wanderlust, i want to try something new, something not rpm based. arch bros? debian bros? ubuntu bros?

try debian, it is the best simply because it's a distribution that doesn't try to babysit you like fedora, but is very independent (very minded distro) and stable, meaning you don't need to babysit it as you do with arch. besides the big repos and its lts nature, deb gives you space and peace of mind to learn (about everything) at your own pace, and be comfortable while doing so.

be carefull tho, if you dont align to its proposals it can be a pain, you need to know some workarounds to get new software and for emulation/games, there are videos around teaching them. try it out on live and use the netinstall if youre going to install.

Not a huge problem desu. It's just hard to recommend Ubuntu when Linux Mint is similar in many ways but doesn't pull this kind of shit. It's not about Ubuntu being super terrible, it's about there being a better alternative.

this is fucking hilarious. doesn't matter if apex, valorant, rust, cs2 faceit or any other league. any FPS is currently unplayable because kids run color/ML aimbots on their second pc and forward inputs to their gayming pc with this 40$ passthrough device. and all the jeet AC devs are too stupid to write an aimbot detection algo that doesn't result in 6 million false positive bans. (the valorant jeets literally used their RAT malware anticheat to check&ban players that stream a centered screen region which is smaller than 512x512 pixels).

Why isn't there a system call to tell the kernel that a certain piece of code is uninterruptible? this would eliminate race conditions once and for all
18 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107693305
I think you could fix race conditions by banning niggers.
>>
>>107693305
Just go back to 8bit computing!, there's no race conditions there!

Until you're doing anything anything remotely decent with graphics, then interrupts like VSYNC WILL act like a second thread, and you WILL get race condition problems, and now you will have to deal with em using 8bit assembly.
>>
>>107693305
You can eliminate race conditions (and nulls) by using a better type system.
>>
>>107693305
>system call to tell the kernel that a certain piece of code is uninterruptible
This could conceivably be implemented but maybe not with acceptable performance.
It would also rely on the programmer using those calls at the right times, and since they already misuse mutexes etc there might not be much hope of that.
>>
>>107693446
if you can make a thread uninterruptible, think of what would happen if you make a mistake that leads to an infinite loop.

though it depends on what you mean precisely: 'no other thread of process X can interrupt thread Y of process X' VS 'no other thread can interrupt thread Y of process X'

In the first scenario, that's not really a problem, but in the second scenario, this can be a real issue (e.g whole system becomes unresponsive)

Multi-threading used to work like that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_multitasking
But we've moved on to use preemptive scheduling which doesn't have this whole system freezes problem.

Even when you use mutexes perfectly, you still may encounter data races/raceconds with other resources, like the filesystem. There are special mutexes for those, but locking a file can lead to new problems (e.g deadlocking another process that needs to access the file).

>>107694324
There are no fundamental solutions that fix race conditions. Even Rust has race conds, it's type system was only designed to prevent data races. Anyway as soon as you talk to an external component (server, filesystem, database), you introduce invariant that are too complex to clearly express in the type system.

yazi config changes too often. i've been running my own fork for a while and disabled the annoying daemon. overall it feels nice, but it lacks way too many features that ranger had. it recently got tabs but they aren't fully integrated afaik.

it suffers from the same issue as ranger, if you try to open a fuse filesystem (through jmtpfs or samba/ssh), it will try to preview every images and videos which will quickly cause the filsystem to overload and become unusable.
your only option is then to sigkill the yazi daemon and client. it's still missing proper shell support (e.g run yazi commands directly inside yazi) and other stuffs like :filter or @ that made ranger so nice to use. although being able to build plugins as object is really nice
